DR Appt scheduling question K1

[Daisy.Chain 317]

Good evening!

Assuming my I-129F application is approved and sent to the DR, when I get my interview do I have some say in when it will be scheduled? As a teacher, summer would be the ideal time for our interview. Do they just call and assign or will I be able to choose one that works for us? I would be glad to hear your experiences.

Thanks,

Nope,. the interviews are schedule dby the US Embassy/Consulate.. when your case gets approved, and sent to the DR, they will send you a letter with the interview letter with the day and time, and instructions to follow (fees, birth certificate, etc).

Take a day off to go the medical check up at the Consultorios de Visa with the interview letter, you don't have to make an appointment, but you have to go like 15 days before the day of the interview, then wait 3-5 days to pick up your results.

Good luck!!

Do I, the petitioner need to go to the medical appointment, or just my fiancee, the beneficiary?

Just the beneficiary for medical and some consulates will not allow the petitioner in for interview only the beneficiary..check with the consulate if you want to go maybe they will let you maybe they wont

You don't need to go to the medical, but are "encouraged" to go to the interview.

What J&N said....it may take up to 120 days to get an interview date, some are lucky and get it asap. I think the embassy had my case the first days of may and I got the confirmation of my interview on may 21, 30 days later. That gave my fiancé plenty of time to come with me for the interview. It is encouraged, but I do recommend you to be there as well.

Good luck

All the advice you received /is correct. You can just hope your interview is during Winter Break or so. I am a teacher too, the good thing my wife's interview was in June towards the end of school year, and getting off wasn't as big as an issue.

Read the NOA2 Wiki Page to prepare for your interview.
